Article C17.4.7
Third Party TRC/FSC Supply
Chapter: C17
In Simple Terms
Independent companies that aren't connected to any F1 team can supply certain car components (like tire wear sensors or fuel system components) to teams, as long as they offer the same parts to other teams on fair and equal business terms. This prevents any team from getting special treatment or exclusive access to better components from outside suppliers.
- Third-party suppliers unrelated to F1 teams are allowed to provide TRC (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) or FSC (Fuel System Components)
- The same component must be offered to all F1 teams on similar commercial terms to ensure fairness
- This rule prevents monopolies and ensures competitive balance by allowing independent suppliers in the market
Official FIA Text
Third party unrelated to any F1 Team may supply TRC or FSC provided it offers same component to other F1 Teams on similar commercial terms.
